15 Ways to Promote Your Blog

When I first started blogging I did not worry about blog promotion simply because I was naive when it came to blogging.  Blog promotion is important if you want to get traffic which in turn leads to readers and subscribers.  Here are 15 ways I've found to promote my blogs:

1. blog advertising networks (eg. Entrecard, Adgitize, CMFAds)
2. banner advertising
3. text link advertising
4. email campaign
5. signature file for forum or group participation 
6. niche forums
7. traffic exchanges
8. directory submissions
9. pinging search engines
10. word of mouth (eg. family, friends, co-workers)
11. reciprocal links
12. RSS feed
13. social networking (eg. MySpace, Facebook, Twitter)
14. article submissions with link back to your blog
15. guest blogging
